If community competition is your thing, take the new 1000 Map Challenge. In order to thrive on Io, you will need to steer yourself away from everything you thought you knew about Mars and re-order your building priorities to outshine your competitors. There are plenty of new sources for power, but some of humanity’s basic essentials - like water - don’t exist. Two brand new factions have joined the corporate world on Io where the new resource system offers a steep learning curve. Life support is so strenuous on Io that Mars will look like a paradise in comparison! With resources that deplete over time creating fierce competition, you will have to adapt to the new environment faster than your opponents do in order to survive. Ease of obtaining Fuel kind of balances the absence of Water Engine and Teleportation.If you thought turning a profit on Mars was tough, just wait until you land on Jupiter’s volcanic moon, Io. The difficulty in obtaining Water can lead to expensive Food (and consequently life support can cause debt issues). from High to Medium), but will never diminish below Low.Ī stack of 4 cubes indicates a Very High, which provides 2.5 /s of that resource. Each time a resource diminishes it will be reduced by one level (i.e. Resource deposits will now diminish when 500 units of that resource is extracted from them, including from Slant Drilling. Oxide Ice - can collect Oxygen with a Solar Condenserĭaylight hours: 08:00 to 36:00 or 28hrs or ~66% Liquid Batteries -Solar Panels and Condensers work at night Synthetic Meat - Farms count as boosted - like Adrenalin Boost, including faster build time Geothermal Borehole - can build anything on a Geothermal Vent, any building on or adjacent produces 0.2 power (and consumes none) Nuclear Engine - use Uranium instead of Fuel for transport and launches Transparent Aluminium - use Aluminum instead of Glass Water Engine, Cold Fusion, Energy Vault, Carbon Scrubbing, Teleportation Offworld Markets become Space Elevators (functionally pretty similar) Solar Condensers collect Oxygen 0.5 /s on Oxide Ice tiles Costs 5 Electronics plus some of your primary resource to build. Must be placed on Basalt Lake (looks like lava). Costs 20 Aluminum and 80 Carbon to buildīasalt Platforms - collects 0.5 Uranium, 1 Iron, 0.5 Silicon and consumes 0.2 Power. Ion Collector - collects Fuel 0.9 (lowest elevation) - 1.1 /s (highest elevation). Costs 20 Aluminum and X of your primary building resource to build Water Processor - converts 0.5 Oxygen & 1 Fuel into 0.25 Power & 1 Water. Nuclear Plant - converts 0.25 Water and 0.5 Uranium into 1.5 Power (also present on Ceres)
